Bohlen-Pierce-Stearns (BPS) is a temperament in the 3.5.7 subgroup generated by a sharp ~9/7 (or equivalently a flat ~7/3), tempering out the sensamagic comma, 245/243 so that a stack of two generators represents 5/3 in addition to 81/49, which generates a MOS scale of 4L 5s against the tritave, known as the Bohlen-Pierce Lambda scale. The "canonical" tuning for the generator is 3\13edt, representing the equal-tempered Bohlen-Pierce scale, but a range of other tunings are valid, including 4\17edt, 7\30edt, and 10\43edt.

As the generator of the Bohlen-Pierce scale, and the simplest decently accurate temperament of the 3.5.7 subgroup, this temperament fulfills a niche similar to meantone of the 2.3.5 subgroup, allowing for the tetrad 3:5:7:9 to serve as the theory's primary consonant tetrad.

For technical data, see Sensamagic clan#BPS.

Extensions

Several extensions of this temperament are possible to incorporate additional harmonics.
